The interesting way I talk was not mine. It is how they treat "matter", or more precisely, mass. e=MC^2. remember that mass can be talked in terms of equivalence. it is not 100% true as some people think. but it is close enough for everyday and even quantum mech for that matter. And most certainly me. 
 
When the distinction between forces disappears at higher energies it is because they begin to act the same way, not they they "are" the same. But if they act the same, they are the same kind of thing. It is all about interactions.-The electron, a lepton, is a fundamental particle. It is not "formed from", rather it "froze out". there is a subtle difference. at least, that's what they think. I think the strong force has a non-fundamental force carrier, they just don't talk about it as such because it is made of other things. i forget whats its called. I would have to look up what.
 
One way Space can be thought of fields. many fields, or descriptors, that can define a region in space. When the point, or sector, is excited a "particle appears. loosely, Think of a thin film of plastic at about 5ft above the ocean, Every wave greater than 5 feet hits the film. That would be a particle. So it looks like a particle is there. You can imagine the different kinds of stuff you see.-now tack on a few dimensions ... mind blowing.-you are right about time. they really do not know what it is really. They are most interested in "rates". again, it points to events, or rates (dT) and not a thing, like time. We are "rainbows" in the mist of what is.-
again, a disclaimer ... don't try this at home!!! But it's all on things the "the Universe" series so it close enough. I watch a lot of Susskind at standard too if you want to cross check me. I can't remember the formals any better than I can all the parts in the human body. But he explains it pretty clear.
